عام غلطی:
Learners sometimes write *“bunches of money”* or *“many bunch of people”* when they mean just a large amount. Use “a bunch of” or “bunches of” only as a set phrase, and keep the noun after it plural when it is countable: “a bunch of people,” “a bunch of ideas.” Also, in informal English, both singular and plural verbs are heard after “a bunch of,” but in standard writing it is more common to match the verb to the noun after “of”: “A bunch of people are waiting.”

عام غلطی:
Learners sometimes confuse this physical group meaning with the quantity meaning and use it with abstract nouns like *“a bunch of happiness”*, which sounds odd. This sense is usually for physical, countable things like grapes, keys, flowers, or balloons that can literally be grouped or tied together.
